  1. I'm trying to learn how to glide, i have a 20'' torker with no crown to
    rest my foot on. Please don't tell me it's impossible I've heard it too
    many times.

  2. You don't need a crown to glide.

    Do the usual: Learn to wheel walk and then learn to 1-foot wheel walk.

  3. when i attempt gliding (not very often) i get going pretty good, then i
    go into one foot riding and speed up a whole bunch, then just take my
    one foot off the pedal and hang on. when learning to wheel walk i found
    i could glide very short distances, braking with my foot when i got
    going too fast.

  4. I learned the standard progression from wheelwalk to one-foot wheelwalk,
    and from there you have short glides. None of my glides are any further
    than 5 or so feet, but I can see that I'm progressing.

    That's probably the best way to learn, but I have heard of someone who
    went straight from one-foot riding into gliding.

    Sorry that I don't have any real tips, but as soon as I figure
    something out that really helps me, I'll be sure to post it.

    It's no good being Polish unless you prove it once a day.

    doesn't really matter, It's just what the body does.
